At long last, "Star Trek: Discovery" debuted Sunday night on CBS, the first time a new "Star Trek" series has been on TV since "Enterprise" ended in 2005. The run-up to "Star Trek: Discovery" was action-packed. The series was originally supposed to premiere in January. Then, it was announced it would debut in May. After more behind-the-scenes drama, the premiere date was pushed back to Sept. 24. So, was it worth the wait?

In his more than 30 years as a filmmaker, Ken Burns has explored some of the most difficult chapters of the American experience. With such works as “The Civil War” (1990), “The War” (2007), and “The Dust Bowl” (2012), Burns and his collaborators have brought to life the devastation of slavery, war, environmental catastrophe, and more. But Burns has never made a film as challenging as “The Vietnam War,” the 10-part, 18-hour epic which premiered Sept. 17, and airs its final episode Sept. 28 on PBS.

Advanced terms

Muck Rack's Advanced Search allows for many boolean operators.

AND

Find results that mention multiple specified terms, use AND or
+. For example, ensure each result contains both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg by
searching Obama AND Romney or Obama + Romney.

OR

Use the operators OR or , to broaden your search when you'd like either of
multiple terms to appear in results. (This is the default behavior of our search when no operators
are used.) For example, search for democrat OR republican to find results that refer to
Democrats and/or Republicans.

NOT

Use NOT or - to subtract results from your search. For
example, searching Disney will yield results about the Walt Disney Company as well as Walt Disney
World Resort. To exclude mentions of Disney World, search for Disney -World or Disney
NOT World.

Phrases

When using one of these operators with a phrase, enclose it in quotation marks. For example, you can
find results about smartphones excluding Apple's iPhone 4S by searching smartphone -"iPhone
4s".

Exact case matching or punctuation

If you're searching for a brand name or keyword that relies on specific punctuation marks or capitalization, you can
find results that match your exact query by adding matchcase: before the keyword you're searching for, like matchcase:E*TRADE .

Combining operators

Use parentheses to separate multiple
boolean phrases. For example, to find journalists talking about having fun in Disney World or
Disneyland, search for ("disney world" OR disneyland) AND fun.

Asterisk

An asterisk can be used to search for any variation of a root word truncated by the asterisk. For example, searching for admin* will return results for administrator, administration, administer, administered, etc.

Near

A near operator is an AND operator where you can control the distance between the words. You can vary the distance the near operation uses by adding a forward slash and number (between 0-99) such as strawberries NEAR/10 "whipped cream", which means the strawberries must exist within 10 words of "whipped cream".
